Roland Lombardi: US support for Qatar is dangerous
Roland Lombardi, a
geopolitical scientist and instructor in the Department of Middle Eastern
Studies at Aix-Marseille University, said that the recent statements of the
American presidency are something to fear, in addition to its continuous
support for the State of Qatar, which has not retreated from its position in
support of terrorism.
He added, "We hope
that the US policy will not be followed in all fields," adding that
foreign policies must depend directly on national interests before anything
else.
The seminar is titled
"Human Rights: Islamists' Weapon in Democracy Abuse".
It is held against the
background of exploitation by Islamists of human rights to serve their own
agendas.
The seminar is moderated
by CEMO Executive Director Ahmed Youssef. Other speakers include French Senator
Valerie Bouillier, and French writers Yves Thréard and Roland Lombardi.
